The Department of Alpes-Maritimes is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Éric Ciotti with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 20.588 billion Maralpins are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nice. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.4%.

The thriving Maralpin economy, worth a remarkable 1,617 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 78,561 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,644 per year while the poor average 19,738, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, begun the Clone Wars have, and authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpes-Maritimes's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Alpes-Maritimes is ranked 149,309th in the world and 23rd in Department Store for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 35.41 Effective Tax Rate.
